Serviceman Jean-Paul Belmondo begins his 8-day leave by changing into civvies in a Métro entrance. There he witnesses fiancée Françoise Dorléac (Catherine Deneuve’s sister) getting kidnapped – and the chase begins… Belmondo performs his own blood-curdling stunts against that Sugar Loaf Rio skyline and across the under-construction unearthly architecture of Brasilia (even almost parachuting into the jaws of a hungry alligator)!
